Analysis of Teacher Objectives



The preacher must be wise to teach,
The people of proverbs with care;
Weighing and studying to reach,
About what the Scripture will share.

To find the words the preacher sought,
Uprightly and delight of truth;
Acceptable words that have brought,
Written for those still in their youth.

The words of the wise are like goads,
They are given by one Shepherd;
Inspiring sheep on the right roads,
For guiding them in being heard.

Watch for anything beyond these,
For many books, there is no end;
For anyone that disagrees,
They scoff at for it does offend.

The end of this all has been heard,
For this is the duty of man;
Fear God and adhere to His Word,
For with your life, He has a plan.

Into judgment, He brings each deed,
All things whether good or evil;
Each and every that you decreed,
Are holy or of the devil.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
